1. After reading the essential questions i feel that this unit will be about imagination vs. the real life.! I feel that imagination is always good but to a certain extent.! At the end of the day the REAL always matters.! And social problems could be anything from murdering on the street to child abuse in your own home.! I think that we have a lot of social problems in our society today but never enough answers for them.!
2. "And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome." This is a part in the story that shows realism. It shows it because we know that she is already sitting looking out the window. She didnt have to make us imagine where the setting is because she told us everything we needed to know. Then she opens her arms wide and let the feeling or this angel into her.!
"But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely." The social problem in this story is that ite 1894 and back then wives were pretty much told what to do in the household. Its not that she didnt love her husband, its that she was relieved that she would be free from being told what to do.! She wanted to be FREE FREE FREE..!!
3.In Battle with Mr Convey a lot is taking place in just these short days in the story.! "Mr. Convey took up a hickory slat with which Huges had been stroking off the half-bushel measure, and with it gave me a heavy blow upon the head" He is giving a lot of details so that we want use our imagination because its realism.! "The blood was yet oozing from the wound on my head. For a time I thought I should bleed to death; and think now that i should have done so, but that the blood so matted my hair to stop the wound" This is also an example of realism because he's TELLING you whats happening to him.!
The social problem in this story is slavery.! "After lying there about three quaters of an hour, I nerved myslf up again, and started on my way, through bogs and briers, barefooted and bearheaded, tearing my feet sometimes at nearly every step"
4. "Im untaimed I need a leash, im insane i need a shrink, i love brain i need a leech, Why complain on easy streets, ion even talk i let the Visa speak." This is a quote from the rapper Lil Wayne. I chose this because i feel this is an example of realism because he's telling us what he has and needs. And he's not letting us imagine or figure out what he needs.!
5. I like the Dark Romanticism because i feel that its more enjoyable to read the realism, I feel that it catches my attention more.!
In Clown Town, a lot of strange things happen. Cars floating, moosing chirpping like birds, Tigers eating on Bulldawgs for brunch. No running water, can't even catch the Carta. A lot of weird and unfamiliar people live here. But this one family of animals sticks out the most about the town. Two furry feliens got together and created and Dotin (dog & kitten). This animal was a dog but instead of barking it meowed. Everywhere the animal went people knew who he was and who his parents were. He was teased a lot for what he was so he kept angry with his parents because of what they had made him but he never showed it. He was always calm and cool around his parents so they never knew. He sat alone in his room and drew pictures of his parents being eaten by this big furious beast. His parents never came up to his room so they never knew what he was doing. One day a pile of the drawing stood on the nightstand. The dog in lots of anger and having crazy thoughts about attacking. So a dogs instict is to capture and kill cats. The dog storming down the steps not darking but meowing in anger. He attacks his mother first by grasping hold of her neck and shaking and ringing her neck. He did this so much she was killed in the dogs mouth. During this the father cat was on the phone reporting the attack so the police were on there way. Before the police came the father was killed instantly by the dog. When the police arrived the dog was seized and captured and took in for questioning. He dog never could speak all it did was meow to the polices. They searched the home once again and found the drawings. The drawings were important to the polices because they told the whole story of what happened to the Cats. The furious beast the dog drew about was him, planning his whole attack on his parents.! So dog was convicted on catslaughter and put in Clown Prison.\
This is a good example of dark romanticism because it shows how everyone mind has evil in it. This goes against what the trancedentalist believe.
6. I can identify realism by looking for the theme or eveidence of what i have learned. I have also wrot in creative writing with evidence and expository writing to show how i under what realism is in this unit.

Unit 6.!
1. As usual I'm going to let you know what I think this unit will be about and how familiar I am with Gothisiscm.! I don't know much but i know they wear a lot of dark colors and mostly stay to themselves. Sometimes a lot of dark makeup over their faces and maybe a couple chains here and their. I never was nor will be the type to associate with the Gothic people. Because i feel like they worship the devil and me, personally believes in God. Not saying that they do worship the devil i just think that. Need i remind you i don't know much about Gallicism these are just my opinions.!
2. I feel that i am a Transcendentalist because original sin doesn't matter to me at all.! I feel that not ALL thoughts come straight from God but many do.! I know I'm not a Gothic because I feel that they worship the devil with their dark clothes and mysterious beliefs.! I know the things i hear in my head can be somethings good and sometimes bad.! I think it isn't all God speaking to you, because i feel if God can get in you head the devil can also.! But me personally believes in GOD.!!! yeaaaa
3.
4. I have chose to read The Black Cat.! I chose this story because i figured it would be interesting, and it was.! I'm really not a Gothic fan but i respect where they're coming from and what they believe.! I liked this story because it caught my attention that another cat took Pluto's spot but it was his intuition and his guilt haunting him because he killed the other cat.! So i felt this story was better than most stories.!
"Beneath the pressure of torments such as these, the feeble remnant of the good within me succumbed. Evil thoughts became my sole intimates -- the darkest and most evil of thoughts. The moodiness of my usual temper increased to hatred of all things and of all mankind; while, from the sudden, frequent, and ungovernable outbursts of a fury to which I now blindly abandoned myself, my uncomplaining wife, alas! was the most usual and the most patient of sufferers." In this quote he is showing that his eveil thoughts are taking over the good part of his brain.! And the transcendentalist belived that God was and is always speaking through you brain and telling you to do all these nice things.! But this is showing what the Gothics believe.!!! "WOOT" "WOOT"
5."But the Raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore--"
This stuck out the most to me because he pulls up a chair and looks at the bird like, "what are you doing in here.?"
6. "But the Raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore--" This is an example of end ryhme because it rhymes and the end of two sentences.!
"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary," This is an example of internal rhyme because the word in the middle rhymes with the word at the end of the sentence.!
"Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;" This is an example of alliteration because its repeating the D sound.!
7. The unit we have just completed was Gothicism.! I learned that what the trancedentalist believe is not always true because there are other people who have evil thoughts in there head like the characters i have read about during this unit.! The trancedentalist thought that it was always that voice in your head thats telling you to do the right thing.! Like God talking to you.!
